Engage Cuba, a national coalition of private companies, organizations and local leaders dedicated to advancing federal legislation to lift the 55-year-old Cuba embargo, slammed the new restrictions in a statement Wednesday. "It seems we have fumbled our Cuba policy right into the hands of Vladimir Putin.
